6. Settlement Option
Through Settlement Option, Policyholder will have the option of
taking maturity proceeds either as lump sum or through pre-
selected periodic instalments (yearly, half-yearly and quarterly
only) and this should be intimated to the company within 3 months
prior to the date of maturity. The first instalment under Settlement
Option shall be payable on the date of maturity. The Settlement
Options available are:
1) 50% of the maturity proceeds as a lump sum and balance 50%
as periodic instalments OR
2) Whole of the maturity proceeds as equated periodic instalments.
i. The instalments can be taken over a maximum period of 5
years called the Settlement period.
ii. In case of non-annual modes, the yearly instalments for
each year shall be further divided equally as per mode
chosen
• Life Insured should specify mode of the periodic
instalments, i.e. quarterly / half – yearly / yearly at the

be liquidated to meet each payment shall depend on the

instalment shall be paid on the date of maturity along with
the lump sum if any.
v. During the settlement period, the investment risk in the
